3.C.1. Headgear<br />
3-21<br />
COMDTINST M1020.6G<br />
Personnel will wear headgear (be covered) when outdoors and during ceremonies held<br />
indoors when appropriate. Headgear will be worn squarely on the head, bottom edge<br />
horizontal. Hair will not be visible below the front brim or visor. Personnel visiting<br />
other military organizations will follow the customs for that organization. Personnel may<br />
remove their headgear when traveling inside any enclosed vehicle either on or off any<br />
<strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> facility. Wearing headgear while in an enclosed vehicle may be appropriate<br />
during ceremonial occasions or may be required by the local regulations of other military<br />
services while on board their facilities. See the illustrations later in this chapter for the<br />
proper configurations of <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> headgear.<br />
